Yup, about a 2 month hiatus this winter. No one is looking run down at all, coats really nice, maybe even a little chubby but that should even out as they...
if you are able to get the does to adjust to the tractor and kindle well in them as you move them around that would be good, but even if you just moved the...
As long as I can figure a way to attach the nest boxes to the tractor, it shouldn't be that big a deal. Now if I could just wiin the lottery so I could buy...

OK, I'm sorry, I'm new to the group.... What are the tractors that you are talking about?? Like, a literal tractor? Like a work tractor? Sorry, I know its a...

Tee Hee!! No, the term "chicken tractor" and then later "rabbit tractor" comes from a structure large enough to house some chickens or rabbits but small enough...

Cool. thanks so much - I bet the angora would take even longer - they are the laziest bunnies ever. Of course no wet pasture for them LOL. aliza who is busy...
as long as you have a shelter put up where you can put their food and water and they can get out of the weather they will be fine out in the winter, their...
not sure angoras would do well in a colony, not if you want to keep them clean for wool production, they will get matted and messy with all the grass and hay...
I have does in pairs in cages and they dont chew or matt up - they are germans. They will be on wood flooring after being box trained so I dont have a mess...
Hi Aliza, It sounds like you know what you're doing and you have thought it out well. I found this site and I thought it quite amazing - perhaps you will find...
Thanks so much for the link - this is similar to what I have been envisioning. I am very very grateful. I will email them in a bit and ask about their litter...
I don't think that they would like our weather then!! It's really wet in the spring..... I'll keep thinking about it though.... ... From: Linda Medero...
Bravo!! I'm an experimenter at heart and you will find that lots of fears evaporate as you try different things and find what works for you and your bunnies....

She also said that you can remove them when they only use one or two boxes:o) Her single pens are a minimum of 16sq' so I would assume the colony pens are...

Hi everyone. I have set up a temporary colony with 5 bunnies in it. Soon to be 3 bunnies because the guy I bought them from sexed them wrong. I ended up with...
Ahhh, escape artists, aren't they grand?! Shame you don't have the time to wait her out to see how she does it. They can climb a bit, depending on the ...
